UNSPSC 85702941: Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left upper femur, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left upper femur, external approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 0QW7XKZ

UNSPSC 85702941 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left upper femur, external approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local solicitations posted under it. The code's medical taxonomy describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary ancillary clinical staffing. None of these procurements involve orthopedic implant revision or nonautologous tissue substitutes. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the source data or that this code is being used as a catch-all for health services not captured under more precise commodity classifications.

The issuing bodies span city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile justice systems, county health care consortia, and regional public health systems—a broad cross-section of local and state government health administration rather than hospital procurement or orthopedic supply. Recent opportunities were posted in Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State (Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with response dates clustering between late September and early October 2026. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026). Given the consistent mismatch between the code's stated scope and actual procurement activity, vendors should verify coding alignment before pursuing opportunities listed under this Commodity.
